Mercedes-Benz introduces new iPhone integration kit
Posted on Thursday, September 4th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Mercedes has unveiled their latest cradle for the iPhone. This new cradle mounts in the center console of the Mercedes Benz and integrates perfectly with the car’s stereo system.
Available now for the Mercedes-Benz C-, E-, CLK-, CLS-, S-, CL-, SL-, M- and R-Class (as well as in the future for the forthcoming GLK-Class), the Apple iPhone cradle allows seamless integration between your device’s music and telephone functions and your vehicle’s architecture.
Once the cradle is installed, your iPhone’s music and phone functions can be controlled with the help of the multifunction steering wheel controls, while the vehicle’s display is used to indicate the phone status, music functions, etc. Other features include automatic recharging while your iPhone is attached to the cradle as well as increased reception with the help of your vehicle’s aerial.
If you’ve already got the iPod kit or Media Interface kit, the adapters needed will run you €39 ($60), and the cradle itself is available now in Germany for €249 ($385).
